The France Revolution

The Dagger

Chapter 1

Thirteen years later ...

A young man was in a house, the door barred with a chair as he was looking at a broken watching hearing nothing but the endless ticking noise, but then Reality came crashing in as Victor brakes through the door, making Arno fully aware, "Can't play fair at card, so you stoop to thieving, you bastard!" Victor shouts at him, he then reaches to get to him, but the both circled around the table, "Calm down Victor, I've only come for my watch." Arno informs him, "It's my watch! I won it fairly!" Victor reports.

"In a just world Victor, I would agree with you. But this is not a just world. This is France." Arno reminds him, "You're a dead man." Victor threatens him, then lunges for him, but Arno doges the lunge. "Oh step lightly there! You'll hurt yourself." Arno teases him, but then Victor flips the table over and Arno makes a break for the window. He tries to jump out the window but got his leg caught by the Blacksmith and stumble to the ground, dropping his father's watch, as it slides in front of Victor's younger brother, Hugo. He looks down at it and went to pick it up, but Elizabeth slides in front of him, grabs a hold of the watch and then stood up. The three look at her as she dust off her white shirt, blue vest, brown pants and knee high boots, Arno then pulls himself to his feet as she was done dusting herself and looks at the watch in her hand.

"For me? You shouldn't have!" she said with a fake sense of glee, her hand press to her cheek as her head was tilted into her hand and she was smiling, "Hey that's my watch, you bitch!" Victor shouts at her, Elizabeth looks at him, smirks and shows him the watch, "You want it? Come and get it." she taunts him and took off running. "Hey! Get back here, merde!" the older brother shouts, "Hugo, get after her!" Victor orders his brother, he nods and ran after her, Arno scrambles to his feet and took off running after Hugo and Elizabeth.

Victor finally got through the window and tries to catch up with them. Elizabeth looks over her shoulder, seeing that Hugo was panting heavily, she smirks to herself as she jumps through a window and as she jumps through another window, she places the watch down her chest and ran for the market. "Sorry! Pardon, good sir! Excuse me!" Elizabeth shouts as she kept accidentally running into people, Hugo was catching up to her and just as he was about to grab her, but he trips over his own feet, making her stops and look down at him, then saw Arno charging right at her, her eyes went wide and then shuts them tight, waiting for an impact, but she then felt hands grip her shoulders, and she fell backwards and was suddenly halted from hitting the floor. She peeks one of her eyes open and saw that Arno was looming over her, she exhales and smiles at him, "Bonjour!" she said with glee, he smirks down at her, "Bonjour à vous était bien." he said and pulls her back up and they both laugh a little and then looks down at Hugo, "Thickheaded blacksmith like you probably can't even read a watch..." Arno teases, making Elizabeth chuckle.

"Come here and say that!" Victor shouts as he caught the two' attention, "Ah... no." Arno shouts and the two take off, "Get back here!" Victor shouts at them, "Go, go, go, go!" Elizabeth shouts as she slides under a table, Arno followed after her. "Arrête-les! Voleurs!" Victor shouts out, getting a few guards attention, "Merde!" Elizabeth shouts, "Keeping up?! Shall I call a break?" Arno taunts him as Elizabeth grips a hold of his hand as they make a sharp turn and another sharp and they came to a wagon with hay, "In here!" she whispers and dives in, Arno looks at her as if she was an idiot.

He then turns back looking for another hiding spot, but he didn't realize as he was back up against the wagon, then Elizabeth pops out, grips a hold of him from behind and he lets out a soft gasp as he was then pulled into the wagon. Arno found himself press against her, her arms wrap around his chest, "Eliza-" Arno starts, but she quickly slaps her hand over his mouth, "Shh." she shushes him as the heard Victor and Hugo run in the area, Victor grunts with anger and they both look off to continue the search for the two, Elizabeth slowly moves her hand away from his mouth, moves out from behind Arno and looks out of the way, the pulls herself back in, "The coast is clear." she tells him and hops put, Arno exhales and follows her. As he steps out, he saw that she was bent over, with her long black curly hair hanging out as she brushes and ruffling out all the hay in her hair. Then straighten herself out, and then brushes off all the hay off him, "Were you following me again?" he asks her, she just looks at him and chuckles, "No not this time, I just happen to be in the area when you got caught by Victor." she answers him. He just rolls his eyes, "peu importe ce que tu dis." he mutters.
